make it so

For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.

- 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NLT)

 

I love stories, and maybe that’s why I write the way I do—so that people can read these daily thoughts as a narrative.

I am a huge Star Trek fan, thanks to my older brother, so I get a bit nerdy now and then.

Captain Picard would often provide direction, wait for a response, then say, “make it so.”

The nerdy side of me imagines that perhaps God planned out what He was going to do, discussed it with His Son and the Holy Spirit, and said, “make it so.”

Sure, it's a bit silly because we know that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three in one; there isn't a conversation or discussion.

But imagining God saying, “make it so,” would be pretty cool.

Here is a story that I heard and really like:

The Greatest Man in History… Jesus; Had no servants, yet they called Him Master. Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He did not live in a castle, yet they called Him Lord, He ruled no nations, yet they called Him King, He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today (Lyle C Rollings III, 2008).

The Greatest Man in History.

What a concept, that our Lord and Savior was once every bit as human as you and I.

And He died for us, so that we could be like Him.

Wow.
